BillF Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, JSngry said: The band is too often too big for the orchestrations, the takes are too long. and the ensemble lacks a distinct color/personality. It reminds me of a "lab band" except with real people doing the playing, not lab rats. None of which is what I take delight in about damn near every other Carla Bley record. Go figure. I will say that Lew Soloff & Gary Valente are doin' the do (just doin' it to). I remember seeing that band here in Manchester in the1990s. Gary Valente was the standout feature, as I recall.

JSngry Posted April 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 How about that 1976. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Next up: Sarah Vaughan with Michel Legrand (Mainstream, 1972) Legrand's arrangements oscillate between the extremes of intensely baroque and just-too-damn-much. I wish he would've throttled it back, if only a little -- because Sassy sounds divine and the songs suit her. 11 minutes ago, JSngry said: How about that 1976. Lateef's best record of the 1970s, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard both of those before, but it's been years. Maybe it's time to circle back 'round again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted April 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 IIRC, this was the first record where Sonny had a mike hooked up/on to the bell of his horn so he could walk around while he recorded. Of course, you would hear pad noise and other odd sounds, but oh well. It seems to have unleashed him in the studio that hadn't happened in a loooooong time.
